Default Aftermarket luggage racks?

I changed out my stock tail light to the Harley tri-bar and now my luggage rack won't bolt up. Harley website didn't tell me that when I bought the tri-bar light, go figure.The Harley luggage rackneeds the housing the old light was in to bolt on to plus the tri-bar light is much wider than the stock. Any suggestions on an aftermarket luggage rack for an 08 Softail Custom with the Harley tri-bar tail light and Iron Bag saddlebags?

No need for a new rack, Harley will sell you a bracket that can be used with the tri bar light. I think that these are about $40.00, sure if you contact any of the dealers that they will know what you are after. This also allows you to carry heavier loads than with the stock set up. Sure there is a thread on the forum somewhere on how to fit this.
